#marketupdate, IMO from on-chain is sideways then bullish in maybe a week or so.
Some downside risk if stonks tank, a lot of rallying in the DXY (USD strength) which is typical of money moving to safety.
The first thing to look at is to answer "are we in a bear market". Welp, bear markets start when no new buyers enter to support price and that aint happening, we have healthy growth of new users joining the network.
Let this frame all other metrics.
Of primary interest is capital rotation from stablecoins back into the crypto markets (I'll say that's mainly BTC since alt coins are reducing in dominance).
All of that dry powder sitting on the sidelines has started flowing back in.
We had a huge sell off by previously strong hands (looks like noob buyers that bought 1m - 6m ago). All of those coins that dumped onto the market needs time to be re-accumulated, this is happening now.
Price action looks like an accumulation bottom because of this.
Exchange flows (2 week = solid red, 1 week = dotted red) showing that buying is happening but not yet at an exaggerated pace, so likely we have some time to burn before upward price action can launch.
So now let's look at some short range indicators...
If you know we are in a bear market (which we know is the case from user growth metrics) then SOPR resets near 1.0 is a great time to buy the dip.
NVT Signal is in a no-brainer buy zone. (short term signal)
Using NVT to value the network, we are statistically oversold from fundamentals at historic levels.
Note we were devoid of a mania top before the sell-off. This sell-off happened when price was well within fair value. So it doesn't match the start of bear season.
My only concern for downside risk is if we get a major correction in equities which will pull BTC price downwards no matter what the on-chain fundamentals may suggest.
Noticing USD strength on the DXY, which suggest some investors moving to safety in the USD.

Correction. "if you know we are in a BULL market"

How can $MSTR possibly trade at 2.7x their BTC treasury?
I suspect we are seeing the start of $5-10b of inflows in anticipation of a SP500 listing right now.
If true, then it's still warming up.
Consider 20-30% of the SP500's $50T marketcap comes from passive index tracking funds and ETFs.
Inclusion into the SP500 means MSTR gets a chunk of that money.
Inflow estimates:
$10-15b from passive index tracker funds
$5-10b additional from speculative inflows
When would it happen?
FASB accounting practices go live for MSTR on 1st Jan 2025, that's a prerequisite before a listing can take place. After that MSTR will meet most of the requirements, with the last requirement being a committee decision.
Until the start of Aug, we've been in a bearish stance with an influx of 100k coins (Germany, MtGox, DOJ) while speculation has been rife creating more paper BTC.
The price crash during the start of Aug flushed out much of the paper with a nice round of liquidations... open interest got wiped.
That's a healthy reset of open value (paper bets). It's really hard for BTC to climb when there's overheated speculation in the market.
This mid-June assessment is still in play.
BTC price action needs to get really boring.
I feel like we are 66% the way there. Much of the speculation has left, we still need more of the spot BTC to be absorbed.
Here's the 5 macro signals I'm looking closely at right now for #Bitcoin.
3 bullish, 2 bearish...
Miners capitulation is over, it's one of the most reliable bullish indicators.
Hash rate is recovering, the price and hash rate bottom coincided with upgrades to next gen hardware hitting the network.
M66s went live last week.
S21 Pros this week.
Hash rate set to scream.
Miner capitulation is a very responsive indicator. The breakout was preluded with hash rate recovery; price responded within a day. I gave early warning of this.
When it kicks in we normally have months of bullishness.
I don't usually do short time frame price action as it's the domain of gamblers. But worth a break down of what's happening given the fear in the market...
We've been flushing out the leverage, 62.5k was the target to get most of it.
...speculators kept adding to new long positions, just adding more fuel for more liquidations in a cascading long squeeze.
Bridging us down to the 58k cluster, which just got taken out.
Superimposed on this liquidation squeeze, we have a post halving miners capitulation. Miners are on a BTC selling spree to pay for hardware upgrades due to the old hardware no longer being profitable. The weakest miners closing shop and being liquidated.
